College students then navigate by 4 ranges of the sport in a quest to seek out and get well twenty misplaced objects and return them to Chichen Itza earlier than the photo voltaic equinox.
The sport play of The Descent of the Serpent is a bit harking back to Legend of Zelda (sure, I understand that is a reference level that dates me as a late Gen-Xer). Gamers navigate by scenes whereas making an attempt to dodge obstacles and objects of their quest to seek out the lacking artifacts. When gamers discover an artifact they’re proven a bit little bit of details about its historical past and significance.

The story mode permits gamers to maintain enjoying no matter what number of occasions they hit a dead-end or get hit by an object. The problem mode offers gamers simply 5 “lives” earlier than they lose the sport and have to begin over.
Functions for Training
I performed The Descent of the Serpent for about quarter-hour this morning then needed to pressure myself to cease as a result of I may have simply gone down a rabbit gap of enjoying it for for much longer (notice, I am not skillful when it comes enjoying video video games usually). I discovered the little pop-ups of knowledge after discovering every artifact fascinating. That stated, I take a look at the sport as a enjoyable option to introduce college students to historical Mesoamerican historical past and never as a substitute for full classes.
